According to Steve Berkowitz of USA Today, the Ducks' 12th win of the year triggers a clause in Kelly's contract that extends it one extra year with a salary of $4 million for the 2015-16 season. That's a 42.9% increase in pay over his 2011-12 salary ($2.8 million).

In addition to the extra year on his contract, Kelly has also earned $235,000 this season in bonuses, including $100 thousand for winning the Pac-12, $75,000 for a bowl appearance, and $60,000 for a top-ten finish.
